Why Me

 

Why me

Locked up here in this prison cell

Almost fully dark but not quite

Why me

Sitting here by this grave

Crying and screaming wishing they were back

Why me

Laying here hooked up to this machine

Holding on to breath trying to stay alive

Why me

Being shoved against the wall

Getting beaten and bruised and going home with wounds

Why me

Why pain

Why anyone

Why everything
